Wednesday's HIGHLIGHTS

Red Sox 5, Yankees 1: Michael Pineda was ejected for using a foreign substance less than two weeks after appearing to get away with it in another game against Boston, and the Red Sox beat New York. The right-hander was thrown out in the second when plate umpire Gerry Davis found a shiny substance on the right side of Pineda's neck after Boston manager John Farrell asked him to check.

The Red Sox demoted struggling outfielder Daniel Nava to Triple-A Pawtucket. Nava, 31, was a big part of Boston's run to the 2013 World Series title but was hitting just .149 with two homers and three RBI.

Mariners 5, Astros 3: Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, and Seattle snapped an eight-game losing streak. Seager also hit a two-run homer in the seventh.

Padres: Josh Johnson is scheduled to undergo elbow ligament-replacement surgery for the second time and will miss the entire season.

Diamondbacks: Outfielder Mark Trumbo will be sidelined for an extended period of time because of a stress fracture in his left foot.

Obituary: Conrado Marrero, the Cuban right-hander who pitched for the Washington Senators in the 1950s and in 2011 became the oldest living former major leaguer, died in Havana two days short of his 103rd birthday.
